Great experience with turtles - All went to plan and tuck tuck picked us up at the hotel on time for a 10 min drive to site. There is a changing room if required and they will keep your valuables but they gave us a box to ta put our phones in and take with us on the boat . Had to wait for others to join us. Went out on boat for a few mins , and found a suitable spot . Saw lots of turtles swimmiming next to us , under and over us , fed them too. The quys encouraged them to come to us. Was in the water about 40 mins with them . Guys very friendly and helpful. You can just surface snorkel no need to dive . Water was not too deep . Saw some nice colourful fish. An amazing experience. Would have liked them to be able to take underwater photo of us , sp perhaps this is something they can look to do in the future.

Very nice experience even if you are not a good swimmer! - I had an incredible snorkeling experience in Mirissa with ZRI Adventures. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and exceeded my expectations. The guides were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about the marine life, ensuring we had a safe and enjoyable time in the water. The equipment provided was in great condition, and the boat was comfortable and well-maintained. The highlight of the tour , was the turtles —vibrant coral reefs, andcolorful fishes. The guide made sure we felt safe because I was scared as I am a not a good swimmer. They provided life jacket for me and our guide was with us all the time, making sure we see everything under water. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mirissa—whether you're a beginner or an experienced snorkeler, they make the experience smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for an amazing adventure!

Great experience - We had the best time snorkelling with turtles! They picked us up at the hotel and took us to the beach, we then got taken out to sea for a short swim with the fish in a deeper region and then to the shallow water for swimming with turtles, the staff were so helpful to me and my partner who aren’t the strongest swimmers. We had a great time and highly recommend it!

great turtles experience - All was great, only i wish they would take pictures of us, with turtles. But the point is you do see turtles and you feed them its a whole experience. I recommended to anyone

Magical experience - We decided to snorkel with turtles because we wanted to observe these wonderful animals in nature. We personally found the tour really magical as we swam with three turtles and were allowed to feed them seagrass. The guides made sure at all times that we were fine and that we could see a lot of the marine animals. They have also made sure that no garbage is left behind and thus the animals do not come into danger. We felt super comfortable and found this experience really unique 🙏🏻

A must experience in Sri Lanka itinerary - The snorkeling experience was very good. The instructors were certified and very reassuring. Even if you don't know swimming or are afraid of water, this experience is going to make you love the water a little bit more. The water was super clear and we got to see turtles, fishes and corals
